Description

In 8.3.1 Collapsing margins, the first use of the term adjoining:

In CSS, the adjoining margins of two or more boxes…

should be hyperlinked to its definition a little further on in the section:

Two margins are adjoining if and only if:

so that the reader immediately knows the term is being used in a technical sense and what its precise definition is.

Research direction

Open the CSS2 8.3.1 Collapsing margins section and locate the first use of “adjoining” in the introductory sentence, along with the later definition beginning “Two margins are adjoining if and only if”. Add the link between those locations and verify that the rendered specification links the first use to the definition.
